  1. I have had an 8274 since 1990, its been on a succession of vehicles and it has yet to let me down, and I have given it some serious use.
  2. Our local place were still paying cash on car shells but you still had to ID it up and turn the log book over
  3. This fits on the rings and replaces the bridge. There is 12-13mm of clearance in the throat of the shackles, your rings should fit through there, you can leave the existing bridge in place or cut it free from the ring
  4. What you need is something like this. Its a proprietary stitched tape replacement bridge with 2 stainless shackles. Its used but in good order, its been in a drawer for several years so its age is probably contemporary with your harness. It can be yours if you want it, just make a donation of a tenner to the children's trust and I will post it to you:thumbup:

  6. The chipper isn't stolen, just a picture of it, the scammers harvest pictures and re use them. They don't have the goods they are purporting to sell
  7. Those 70p per pair gloves get changed regularly because they don't last
  8. Sherbert dip dabs, going off topic here
  9. Spangle Gall Anyone remember spangles?
  10. Or something to do with the price of scrap being on its uppers
  11. Choging down a laaaarge multi stemmed London Plane with an 076 (it was a while ago) when a chap sneaked through the barriers (bicycle and all). Everyone was looking up watching me and he just sauntered through the piles of timber like there was nothing going on. I spotted him as I took a particularly large lump off, everything went slow motion as I tried to hold a quarter ton lump with my fingernails I was sure he was a gonner and I was mentally filling the insurance forms in as the timber fell, it missed him but his bike paid the ultimate price. Took a couple of years off my life and I was shaking so bad the boss called the job off for the rest of the day.
  12. Its got internal decay, a very poor morphology and plenty of targets, break out the big saws Oh yes, and its a pop
  13. Find someone who refurbs digger buckets and get an offcut of the boron steel they use to edge buckets Its ground engaging so its strong and it wears well (good Boron content) It already has one bevel edge, take it to a machine shop and get them to bevel the other side to a point.
  14. Watch out for the taxman's slice that you pay at the point of import
  15. It crossed my mind but presumption is the mother of all........
  16. Bump If I don't get any takers its going in the firewood pile
  17. Ewe have no idea:001_rolleyes:
  18. Its an old gravity trip loader, in the commercial world its way back in the 70's It looks original and unmolested so its best market will be a collector, but since most of that is hobby they aren't keen on big spending.
  19. That will be handy for you rob, nipping down to tescos like:laugh1:
  20. There is a JW church near my dads house. I see quite a few clean cut "salt lake boys". They are polite if persistent but they will take no for an answer. I would rather have them in the neighbourhood than some of the "hoodie scrotes" I see lurking on street corners.
  21. It isn't supposed to, its so the old farmer can get his machine from one field to the next
  22. If you can call it that, the badger is a tenacious fighter and a lot of money changes hands on the betting
  23. Well done that landowner
